Hello lovely soul,

Welcome to 2017!

It feels fresh, full of colour and I am definitely glad it is here.

I hope you are moving into this new year with ease and grace and that you are feeling filled with love and hope for what is ahead of you.

May you receive this monthly message with love,

Perfect Setting

Now is the time to create.

As with all new beginnings such as the new year, now is the perfect time to start painting the picture of your life how you want to see it.

Forget all those old canvases that have been left to gather dust because they didn’t quite look the way you wanted them to.

Feel free to chuck out the old sketches and start anew.

This is the time for you to once and for all be honest with yourself, and be crystal clear with the Universe about what it is that you want to create for yourself. 

It doesn’t need to be overcomplicated or overly elaborate; what’s important is that it is honest and clear.

What have you been half dreaming of but not really believing could be possible for you?

Is it a new job? A new home? A new relationship in your life?

The reality is that you have what you have now because that’s where you’ve needed to be.

But you don’t necessarily need to be there anymore.

You are being given permission by the unconditionally loving Universe to ask for what it is that you wish to receive. 

Will you have to take action to help things happen? Absolutely.

Will you have to let go of things to make way for the new? Quite possibly.

What you definitely, positively will have to do in order for the things you want to come into your life is to believe you actually deserve them.

And sometimes that’s the trickiest bit.

But the beauty of this month is that you are being supported in the best possible way to foster that belief and to release the old ones that tell you otherwise. 

I want you to read the following statement then take notice of how you feel and what bubbles to the surface for you:

I CAN HAVE WHATEVER I WANT.

How does that feel?

Is your response to it filled with thoughts of impossibilities, obstacles and blocks?

That’s ok, I think it’s pretty much the case for all of us, and if you don’t feel that way then I am high five-ing you and urging you to get on you merry way. Go forth and create your life!!

But, if you do have a resistance that tells you this just isn’t possible then I want you to spend some time sifting through your thoughts to see which of those are actually based on fact, experience or fear.

Sometimes it’s easier to just chuck all your thoughts and beliefs into one big bucket with a label on it that says “NO”.

“Can I have the house I dream of?” 

NO.

“Am I worthy of a person who truly loves me?”

NO.

“Can I create the life I want?”

Ah….NO.

But really if you dig a little deeper it’s not just as simple as a “no” and sometimes when you work that out you’re able to peel away the false stuff to get to the core and free yourself from the lies.

“Yes I am worthy of a person who truly loves me (because we are all created perfectly and exactly how we were meant to be)…but maybe I still need to work on loving myself more first?”

Ok great! So now you know it’s not just as simple as “Nope, no love for you.” and it’s more about building a loving relationship with yourself.

And maybe you know why your relationship with yourself isn’t great or maybe you don’t. But what a wonderful place to start.

Now you can take action of building up your heart with self-love in the knowledge that you are building a foundation for someone loving and fabulous to come into your life when the time is right.

See the difference?

You’re not just waiting for someone twiddling your fingers and wondering why it’s not happening; and you’re also not just resigning to a place of impossibility.

By making your intention clear to the Universe about what you truly, deeply want and then taking incremental steps to help the Universe clear the path you are painting your perfect life into reality. 

And by perfect I mean perfect for you.

Forget what you’ve been told to want by society, your family or your peer tribe.

Be free to dream up exactly what it is that your soul desires for you. 

Paint into the picture every little thing that makes your heart sing.

It’s your picture, beautiful soul, so make it a wonderful one!

With love,
